Harbor Block Chips
[prom dttß oVncorrsspohdext.] As an'; admirer of our riveis, I • "Would like to know d there 'is any public body havinfg^aufcliority f 6ver these sources of health and wealtti.~,The Orona river, when in a natural state, -is unrivalled for its;purity; while^jhe scenery along its banks excites the admiration of all. Yet this fine stream is allowed to become a Bink\rhole of corruption, a hatching ground for disease, for at the present time a huge dead bollock" is anchored in midstream slowly decomposing, and at another point foukdead sheep are scattering the germs of death to the many who have to drink its waters. i,_ > Ttie c settlers here are agitating for a school.. There are eighteen children of • school age, and it appears that the only difficulty is a suitable building. Mr-Bryce's retirement is regarded by the settlers here with-conaiderable regret.
